Delivery Notes:

Class sessions are hybrid-synchronous (i.e., in person and online attendees and real-time) at a rate of 6 contact hours per week. Classes for the unit are scheduled in the latter half of Semester 2 as per the academic calendar (i.e., from week 6*) in order that students taking Hebrew may first complete their units in foundational grammar.

*Concerning the first week of The Pentateuch (week 6): week 6 overlaps with the final week of Hebrew 2 in which students engage in translation of Genesis 3. Students enrolled in Pentateuch who have Hebrew are expected to attend and contribute to week 6's translation exercises too, whether or not they are enrolled in Hebrew 2. Students without Hebrew are expected to conduct their own translation comparison and study of Genesis 3 during this week, and are also invited to sit in on these translation sessions. The Pentateuch then continues from week 7 as described above. Please contact the instructor for further details.
